Joe Gibbs Racing fans were hopeful about NASCAR legend Kyle Busch racing for them in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2022 in the 5 races that a NASCAR cup series driver allowed to race even though he confirmed 2021 will be his last, in a rather cheeky way, after his 102 Xfinity series win saying “It never say never, but yeah, this is it.”

Now with a few days left before the start of the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series season just days, the Kyle Busch website has confirmed that he won’t be part of the 2022 series as the Xfinity Series tab was removed from the website. Kyle Busch, the 2009 NASCAR Nationwide Series champion and the 2015 and 2019 Cup Series champion, won all of his 5 races in 2021 securing 102 points.

Following the retirement confirmation, Xfinity released a two-part video on YouTube where Kyle Busch talked about his career while it showed many of his numerous Xfinity highlights, and concluded with several of his crew chiefs recalling their favorite moments working with him.
